Reliable eyebrow tint?

[dollygirl1990]

Hi, I have been using refectocil tint from ellisons, but am finding most clients feedback is that the colour was intense for a few days and then faded within a week. I've found this has happened when using it on myself also. Has anyone else got any recommendations for eyebrow tints that last longer than a week? Thank you xo

We use Strictly Professional.
I have all of the Refectocil colours but don't use them anymore for that reason.
The other reasons are that they take longer to work.
You have to patch test each client before every tint appointment ... unless they have changed this recently.

Thanks jaquelineanna. What reason is the every app patch test for, insurance?xo

I suspect they are protecting themselves and in effect putting the onus on us!
Clients are irritated enough with having to have one patch test ... It's irritating to us also ... So I don't use refectocil anymore.
And if all the tint brands make this patch test decision i will take tinting off my menu.
